YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

A theme that I identified with is this idea that we develop coping mechanisms when we are young that aren't as helpful as we become older.

I even kind of enjoyed listening to the advertisement!

Good episode. I've also started to listen to Greg's podcast. I really liked the one struggle in a sentence that said (paraphrasing) that depression (I think it was depression may have been anxiety) was like having a Bugatti in the garage and just continuously revving it without taking it out for a s...
